Mohini Chatterji, who has been
initiating cultured Boston into
some of the mysteries of esoteric
Buddhism, has translated into En-
glish fragment of the Indian poem
"The Mahabharata" For those who
are seeking wisdom from Oriental
sources this translation will be a
great blessing. Take the follow
ing sweeping assertion, for in
stance as an illustration of the
illustration of the great value Of
Chatterji's work: For the Naughl
no aughtness can there be, mol
naughtness can there be for Aught.'
This is deliciously true and truly
delicious. It's worthy of the Con
cord School of Philosophy, and i,
ranks with that organizations as.
sertion that "Actuality is the
Thingness Of the Here" We can
not have too many of these chunks
of Eastern wisdom.-World.

WHO WAS N0MINATKDi

There doesn't appear to have
been much growing over the results
of the Mass Meeting, and there has
been some curiosity manifested as
TO the reason for this. 1t is usual
for men who have won a victory, to
indulge in more or less rejoicing,
but there has been a painful lack,
of any exhibition of glee OH the
part of the supposed victors.
The TINES has made some effort
to discover the cause of this re-
markable state of affairs, and is at
last enabled to give a very good
reason. 1t is, simply, that they
didn't dare to "holler," before
before they got out of the woods.
NJ. McClellan's majority was only
eight, over Captain Holmes, and
everybody krows. or think they
know, that large number of men
who had no right to participate in
the mass meeting, were on hand
on that occasion, and voted freely,
and for Mr.. J. T. Mcclellan. In
short, it is known, and can be
proved, that there were from
twenty to thirty men, who voted
for sheriff, who had no right to
vote. And when it is added that
it is known, (and can be proved)
that the greater part of them voted
for Mcclellan, it becomes an inter.
esting question to know, who was
really nominated. If it can be
shown that twenty or twenty-five
men who had no right to vote al
all, voted for Mr.. Nc Clellan, Oh
that occasion. his supposed ma
jority disappears, and Capt. Holmes
having received the majority o.
the legal votes cast, is, properly
the nominee. Don't you think So

possibility of the Courts to enforce
the law, unless assistedb by the peo-
PIE at large. We find those laws re-
lating to property rights here have
been very generally observed, on'y
three or four cases of larceny were
reported to us, and none of a very
serious nature. We have made
some investigation into the work
in. of the Sunday law and al
pleased to state that we have not
h card of its being violated in any
instance.
Ou~ investigation of the Jail dis
closes the fact that some Of the
waste pires in the cells are some
what out of order and unless re-
paired may cause an injury to val
liable material, and i'll health to
the prisoners. We notice also that
! in rainy weather a pond OF water
accumulated in front of the Jail IT,
such an extent as to force any one
to wade to.reach it This could be
obviated by suitable bitches &c.
at small expense. We call these
two matters to the attention of our
Police Jury, and hope they will
attend to the matter promptly.
We have paid but little attention
to minor offences, though We
cannot help rema: king that we
look upon minor offences about as
we do upon nickels and dimes,
which must be guarded with care
if dollars are to accumulate and SO
minor offences must be nipped in
the bud, if grave ones are to be
prevented. Hence if circumstances
in our parish ever become more
opportune than now, we hope
that q very thorough investigation
of every crime may be made and
strong remedies applied.
Having finished our labors. We
respectfully ask to be discharged.

REPORT OF GRAND JURY.

To the Hon., the Judge of the
9Th Judicial District of Louisiana,
in and for the Parish of Madison,
we your Grand Jury duly empan-
neled and sworn at the Dec. 1881
regular term of your Hon. Court,
with respect this our final report.
1t has been our painful duty to ex-
anime several cases of homicide
and we return four indictments for
murder, and two Cor manslaughter.
We think these cases should be
tried as speedily as possible and
while the accused should be pro-
tected in all legal rights, yet justice
demands; that the punishment OF
terrible crimes like murder be
swift-as we'll as certain. There is
great danger Of maudIin sentiment
arising in favor of conspiciouscrim-
inals who have suffered from long
confinement in prison and even in
cases ofconviction, which is doubs-
full after long delay, and much Of
the Beneficial effects of punishment
is lost. We congratulate the Off
GERS of the Court upon the steady
and successful prosecution of the
late Andrew Fleming, and hope
that like justice may be melted out
as promptly to like Oxen ders. Sc
rious crime has increased in this
parish during the past year, and
we attribute it to the fact that so
few juries fully discharge their
duty, and so few criminals reap
the fruits of their crime. Crimi.
nal law in order to be effective,
must be rigidly elfIrc-
ed. Julies must con-
Wet when the evidence shows guilt
clearly and heavy sentenced mus,
be impaired. We are satisfied that
three of the cases of homicide III
vestigated by us would not have
occurred but for the general aud
now pernicious practice of carry
ing pistols about the person. in
each case the difficulty seemed to
have occurred suddenly and if the
parties had been unarmed at the
time, in all probability it would
have passed off without harm to
anyone. We present several par
ties for carrying concealed weap-
ons. but find much indisposition on
the part OF many good citizens, to-
wards enforcing this law and would
earnestly urge upon them its great
inheritance md the ahpolp(e n

NJ, the editor does not mean what
he really says. lie only means to de-
ceive his readers by the use of language
capable of several different constI uc-
tiOns. lie is simply dodging and try
ing to mislead. The EDITORS claim
that l admitted that l was in favor Of
giving the printing ("ther than delin
quent tax list) to all the papers il the
county, is untrue. l knew the Board
could not do that if they wished to do
so. and so told the editor when he
made such u proposition to the Board.
and, in the presence OF the editor, the
county attorney so instructed the
Board. 1t was simply boys play to
make such \ proposition. 1t was con-
trary. to law and had not u single ele-
ment of fairness about it. The editor
says the ''question Of circulation was
not raised until the bids were all ~. -
Then v i'll he tell US why he made that
offer of 1900 copies of his paper? What
object had he il view? lie knew all
about that question Of circulation, and
that WAS his idea Of meeting it. lie knew
he must meet it and that tie could not
fairly compete with Il single other pa
per in the county when that was con-
sidered, as the law says it shall be. and
hence he made his buncomb offer OF
job work.
The Globe has occupied almost its
entire local space for the three weeks
past with articles lashing the Board
individually and collectively. What is
the object of all this? The contract for
printing has been let and cannot be
changed. There is no election pending
in which the Board or any "f them are
candidates. The Board did not com.
mpnce the fight, nor has the Board, or
any member Of it except myself, shown
any resistance. yet the fight is crowded
and the abuse is piled up by these men.
What good do they expect to accom-
plish by this?
The fact is. that Mr.. Mills is now
posing before the people Of this county
rs their Political Noses. He has come
ont Of the bull-rushes, chosen the edi.
tor for his Aaron, and With the Globe
for Aaron's rod, he proposes to lead his
chosen people into Il land flowing with
milk and honey. But he wants it thor
Oughly understood that Noses MUS
gets all the honey and the cream from
the milk. Unfortunately for the
Board they interfered with some OF
that cream. and at once Aaron, with
his little rod. is called into use to pun
ish the Board.
